Currently - November 2025

November 5, 2025

 

Happy November, friends! 🍁🍂



I'm joining Jenn for her Currently link-up.  It's held on the first Wednesday of each month and lasts about two weeks. This month, we are sharing what we are loving, looking forward to, smelling, preparing for, and thankful for.


LOVING:  I loved that I just celebrated my 34th wedding anniversary with my husband on Monday.  We celebrated it by going out to dinner in our neighborhood.  


We shared our delicious dishes of seafood paella and steak skewers.  



LOOKING FORWARD TO:  I am looking forward to hosting my brother and sister-in-law and kids for Thanksgiving at my house this year.  My daughter always does a great job making a charcuterie board for our appetizer.  



SMELLING:  I love smelling the fresh air on my daily walks in the neighborhood.  It's so nice to see the fall foliage and the leaves changing colors.



PREPARING FOR:  I will be preparing everything for the holidays soon.  I already starting some of my shopping for the holidays.  I plan on doing shopping in my neighborhood, in the city, and also online shopping. 

 

THANKFUL FOR:  I'm thankful for you my blog friends.  I will be celebrating my 13th year of blogging this weekend on November 8th.  I can't believe it's 13 years I've been blogging and I'm so happy my daughter encouraged me to start a blog and help me set it up.  I'm grateful for your support and blog visits throughout the years.  I love the friendships I've made with many of you and also having the chance of meeting some of you in person.  I look forward to another year of blogging and thank you friends.  😊

  1. That sounded like a nice anniversary with your hubby. Happy 34 years! I love seeing your wedding picture. Your daughter's charcuterie board looks so good! It will be nice to host Thanksgiving and get ready for the holidays and shopping. Happy blogiversary too!! I always enjoy your blogs and your friendship!

  2. Happy anniversary! That dinner looks fantastic, but not nearly so wonderful as all those many years of marriage. And boy, that charcuterie tray is a masterpiece. Whenever I see one on a table, it's the first thing I go to! Our TG will be quiet, probably just Rick and me. (In a way, kind of good because I can sneak in a little holiday decorating -- and that usually doesn't start till the day after!)

  3. Happy Anniversary both to you and your sweet husband and also for blogging. It is amazing how many friends we have come to know through blogging. I am so happy I took the plunge 14 years ago to blog. Have a great rest of the week. Hugs. Kris

  4. Happy anniversary! That dinner looks amazing. I haven't given much thought to holiday shopping yet but I'd love to do more of it in person. I have a feeling my boys will have pretty specific lists though like they usually do.
